:: tupperware's turbo chef - an easy way to prepare ingredients ::

Soon after I had my son, Will, I
decided to host a Tupperware Party in order to add to my ever-growing storage
collection, but this time having baby & toddler meals in mind. I have bought
much of the Tupperware Collection, but as a hostess gift, I received a Turbo
Chef. Now, I have to admit that it wasn’t on my list of collectables & I am
not sure if I would have bought it at the time, but I am ever so glad that fortune saw it land in my lap.

As you may know, I developed Easy
Kitchen to inform my readers of tools in the kitchen that make my life that little bit easier. Whether
it is saving time or energy, Easy Kitchenfeatures equipment I just couldn’t live without. I had
recently had some shoulder & tendonitis issues, which made even the easiest
of tasks in the kitchen into a challenge. When I first used the Turbo Chef for
finely mincing onions for a risotto, I couldn’t believe how easy it was for me
to use. To think I had been chopping my onions with a knife all these years!

:: finely dicing onions with the turbo chef ::

The Turbo Chef allows you to chop an
onion into simple 8ths (half, half then half again), place the equivalent to
half of the onion into the container & with a few swift pulls of the cord
chopping onions for your desired dish becomes a breeze. Oh, did I mention no
more onion tears? If the recipe calls for it, I sometimes add my garlic in with
the onion as well. Simple!

:: make sure to constantly stir your onions to prevent burning ::

If
you have any leftover ingredients or need to keep the contents for later,
Tupperware provides a handy lid for excess quantities that fits on top of the
clear container! It is great for sauces. I pre-make my tartar sauce, pop the
lid on & have it at the ready for dinner.

::It is easy to pull apart & assemble
again for cleaning & the base is dishwasher safe. When disassembled, keep
out the top section as the pull cord should not get wet.

::The Turbo Chef would be great for anyone
with upper limb pain, such as tendonitis, arthritis, carpel tunnel, shoulder
pain, etc, as it reduces the amount of strain on the muscles & bones.

::I can imagine the Turbo Chef would be
fabulous for pureeing small amounts of food for babies/toddlers as well.

Cons: Ummm, it has to be washed occasionally.

How to use: Simply place small amounts into an
assembled Turbo Chef container, pull 4-6 times or until you reach a desired consistency, place contents into
recipe!

:: Wash in warm, soapy water or add into
your next dishwasher load.

Notes: If overloaded, like any food processor,
it will produce some inconsistent results. Simply add small amounts at a time
for a more dependable outcome.

::The blades are extremely sharp in order
for a effortless cut, so please be careful when cleaning.
